From September 2026 our fees will be £24.00 for our 3 hour morning session for 2 year old children plus £8.00 for each additional hour; payable each half term. 

 

Our hourly rate from September 2026 for 3 and 4 year olds will be £6.00 per hour (this takes into account the higher staff:child ratio required for 2 year olds). 

​​​

From the start of the term after your child's 3rd birthday, every child is entitled to up to 15 hours of Pre-school education per week, funded by Worcestershire County Council. Some working parents of 9 month to 4 year old children are entitled to an additional 15 hours funding  and other 2 year olds can also claim up to 15 hours.

​

A voluntary Activities and snack charge will be added to each Funded Child's invoice of £1.35 a morning (to include lunchtime) and £2.00 for a full day. 

 

At Charlton with Cropthorne Preschool we have a voluntary Activities and snack charge which tops up the inadequate amount of Government funding we receive for your child’s Preschool place. In essence it’s a voluntary charge that we need to provide your child with the enrichments we do.
